Thanksgiving is upon us. One more day and we can say "goodbye" to our waistbands as we eat ourselves silly on this one glorious day where it's actually encouraged to ignore all the so-called nutritional experts and eat everything in sight to our heart's content. Who doesn't love Thanksgiving?
As much as I enjoy cooking for my family, I decided this year to take a break. This year we are ditching the traditional feast and heading to the happiest place on Earth! That's right! Disneyland!!! Woo hoo!
So, instead of engorging ourselves with turkey, stuffing, and all that other yummy comfort food, and gaining 10 or so pounds in the process, my family and I will be spending this day of thanks with Mickey and his pals.
Many a die-hard traditionalist, I'm sure, would gasp at the thought of this travesty. The horror of skipping out on such an idolized American pastime may elicit cries of protest and questioning such as, "What about the turkey? What about the basting and baking? No cranberry sauce? No smells of high cholesterol foods filling your home starting at 9am? Won't your kitchen supplies feel neglected?"
I'm sure my oven mitts will forgive me. But, hey, we'll be giving thanks for all of our blessings as we sing along to "It's a Small World".
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! See you next week. Maybe I'll have some tips for losing all that turkey weight.
